Nixon Mine

The Nixon Mine in City Creek Canyon was a very small property. Brief mentions are made in August of 1873 in the Salt Lake Daily Herald paper stating that "work has been suspended on the Nixon until material is obtained to timber", That was on August 1. (1)
 
A report in the August 28th issue of the same paper detailed that the mine was being sold to "men with money". Once completed, work would resume shortly. (2)
 
 
The exact location of this mine is not yet known.
